I was raised back in the day and I think loyalty or the appearance of it is important. So I propose that no player be traded, either against his will or by his desire, more than twice in a five-year period, or something like that. This means NO MORE ONE YEAR ROLE-PLAYING CONTRACTS - YOU EITHER ARE, OR AREN'T A YANKEE - YOU CAN'T BE A RED SOX EVERY THREE YEARS AND GO BACK AND FORTH - YOU LEARN TOO MANY INSIDE THINGS ABOUT YOUR TEAM THAT CAN BE SHARED WITH YOUR ENEMY.
I think if such a situation where another trade loomed, one of the parties (the one that wanted the trade) should have to have the remainder of the player's contract get bought out and sit the entire period out, or the management or player would have to settle for a longer than desirable period (set by arbitration) with the next (or present) team, or not get signed. I am sick of seeing every major player play on their enemy's team as if loyalty meant nothing. (Jason Schmidt you are a traitor!) Thoughts, please
